Thirsty Skin - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 -【I Don’t Want To Touch Anyone Except Him.】

The good-looking assistant couldn’t sit still any longer, so he stood up, said, “I have something else to do, take your time eating!” and left.

Lin Wan: “?”

‘Didn’t you just want to watch me finish eating in a bossy manner?’

The investment decision meeting was scheduled for Thursday morning at 10 o’clock. Lin Wan asked Zhou Yu’ang and the other two responsible investment managers to make a project report, and all members involved in the project attended the meeting as observers. Several newcomers wanted to attend the meeting to learn, and Lin Wan approved it. Almost all the investment department members came out.

As the investment director and member of the investment committee, Lin Wan would undertake the important task of presiding over the meeting.

The investment decision meeting is an important meeting within Gengyan Capital. Director Lin issued a strict order long ago that no one in the investment department must make any mistakes at this meeting.

Zhou Yuang has been so anxious recently that his mouth is covered with ulcers. Although it is not his first time to make a report at such a meeting, he still can’t avoid revising the PPT over and over again, asking people to rehearse, and checking materials like he has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Early Thursday morning, Zhou Yuang checked all the materials again. He made three copies of the PPT and, in addition to the laptop computer used for the meeting, he also had a spare computer and a spare USB flash drive.

The spare ones were given to his most trusted brother, Zhu Chizhou, for safekeeping. Zhou Yuang said to Zhu Chizhou in a dying tone: “Brother, I give my life to you. If anything happens to me, it all depends on you.”

Zhu Chizhou took it solemnly and asked him in an NPC tone: “Brave man, you should have made all the preparations, right?”

“Last night, the boss worked with us until 1 a.m. to do simulations, and we practiced all the possible problems we might encounter,” Zhou Yuang took a deep breath, “There will definitely be no problem!”

Zhu Chizhou was surprised: “One o’clock in the morning?”

Is Lin Wan’s battery life that long?

Lin Wan is like Cinderella who loses his magic when the clock strikes twelve. He must go home and soak in ice water at that time, otherwise he would find it difficult to speak normally after the attack. He actually stayed in the company until one o’clock in the morning?

“Yes, we had three projects to take care of, and the boss wanted to go through each project one by one. I stayed until the end, and it didn’t end until one o’clock.”

“Last night…” Zhu Chizhou couldn’t help but ask, “Is Mr. Lin okay?”

“Is everything ok? What’s wrong?”

“Oh, no,” Zhu Chizhou lied as naturally as Lin Wan, “I saw that he seemed to have a cold yesterday afternoon.”

“No wonder,” Zhou Yuang recalled, “Last night at about 11 o’clock, we were rehearsing in the conference room, and he suddenly took a few quick breaths. I saw he was shaking a little, so I hurried to help him, but he reacted violently and pushed me away.”

Zhu Chizhou frowned: “Pushed you away?” Didn’t he want to be touched when his sickness was triggered?

“Yes, and then he asked us to wait for him for a while, and then he went out alone. After waiting for about half an hour, he came back and seemed to be fine, except that his hair was a little wet,” Zhou Yuang speculated, “Maybe the cold caused his asthma.”

Zhu Chizhou was surprised: “He still has asthma?”

“I guessed. Why else would he be panting?” Zhou Yuang thought his guess made sense. “My girlfriend also has asthma. She has difficulty breathing. When an attack occurs, she just sprays medicine and she will be fine.”

When dyspnea attacks, people may also suffer from shortness of breath. Zhu Chizhou has seen this several times and it is indeed somewhat similar to asthma.

But Lin Wan’s illness is far more complicated than asthma.

He was out for half an hour, probably to a nearby hotel.

At 9:40 in the morning, there were still 20 minutes before the meeting officially started. Zhou Yuang and his colleagues had to go to the meeting room in advance to prepare, and Zhu Chizhou was also called along.

When he left his workstation, he glanced towards Lin Wan’s office.

This glance made him stop suddenly.

“Brother Ang,” Zhu Chizhou slowly put the things in his hand back on the table, staring at Lin Wan and said, “You go first, I’ll be there in a minute.”

Zhou Yuang was walking forward in a hurry and said “OK”, not noticing that Zhu Chizhou’s face suddenly became very solemn.

Director’s Office.

Lin Wan sat at his desk, his elbows resting on the surface, his fist against his forehead, trying hard to control his rapid breathing.

【The situation is very bad.】

【I may not be able to hold on any longer.】

He went home too late last night and fell asleep right after taking a shower. When he got up in the morning and prepared to take an ice bath, he found that the ice in the refrigerator had run out.

It had been ten hours since 11:30 last night. According to past experience, there were still three or four hours before the ice water bath lost its effect.

He never expected that he would suddenly fall ill at the critical moment when there were still twenty minutes left before the meeting, and now there was no time to go to the hotel again.

Lin Wan had made all the preparations and checked every key link carefully, but he did not expect that his health would deteriorate just before the meeting.

He is the meeting host and the backbone of the investment department. Everyone can take leave but he cannot.

No matter how painful it is at this time, he can only grit your teeth and persevere.

“Mr. Lin!”

Zhu Chizhou suddenly pushed the door open and without waiting for his response, he strode to his side.

When Lin Wan heard Zhu Chizhou’s voice, all the muscles in his body tensed up. He was afraid that his weaknesses would be exposed, and also afraid that he would not be able to control his morbid desire.

Zhu Chizhou stood on his left side for a few seconds, then leaned over, spread out the project investment proposal in front of him, and said, “Mr. Lin, I don’t quite understand this part. Please help me explain it.”

The boy was so reckless that he suddenly came too close to Lin Wan, with his arm almost touching his face.

Lin Wan’s mind was in a mess. Hr didn’t notice the nervousness in Zhu Chizhou’s voice at all, and he couldn’t concentrate on what was written on the paper.

The blood in his body was bubbling and rushing towards Zhu Chizhou’s hot body. He could only focus his vision and make out that the page Zhu Chizhou turned to was the introduction of the management team.

What’s so hard to understand?

Lin Wan didn’t have the strength to speak, and even the strength to control his breathing was almost gone, because Zhu Chizhou was so close that the hot breath from his words brushed against his ears.

The pleasant smell of the boy filled his nostrils, and Lin Wan felt that all the pores on his body opened up, and he couldn’t wait to feel the breath that belonged only to Zhu Chizhou.

【I don’t understand it now.】

【I just want to hug you now. 】

【I want… I can’t control myself anymore…】

Lin Wan put down his left hand that was supporting his forehead, pressed on the chair to steady himself, and leaned slightly towards Zhu Chizhou, trying to read the words on the paper. His voice was a little trembling, but his tone was still steady: “What’s the problem?”

Zhu Chizhou moved the book to the front of Lin Wan, flipping the pages with one hand, and holding Lin Wan’s shoulders with the other hand, pulling Director Lin into his arms without any rules: “That’s right, the first sentence of the second paragraph, I don’t understand what it means.”

Lin Wan looked down, but not a single word caught his eye. The words on the page were just entangled. Zhu Chizhou’s voice was right above his head. Zhu Chizhou’s big hand grabbed his right shoulder tightly, almost pressing him into his arms.

His entire left shoulder and left back could feel Zhu Chizhou’s chest muscles and abdominal muscles, and the touch of the muscles was so obvious.

Solid, warm, and full of power, and the other person’s heart pounding in his chest, each beat seemed to hit Lin Wan’s back.

Lin Wan tried his best to control himself, but he was unable to control his rapid breathing and trembling body.

His heart was beating like a drum, and he could not help but get close to Zhu Chizhou, greedily taking in Zhu Chizhou’s body temperature. Zhu Chizhou’s smell and body made Lin Wan so comfortable that his hands and feet softened, and he could almost feel his anxiety gradually dissipating in Zhu Chizhou’s arms.

He didn’t know whether Zhu Chizhou noticed his abnormality, but he found that Zhu Chizhou’s heartbeat seemed to be a little too fast.

The two of them were silent for a while, each with their own thoughts. Zhu Chizhou asked Lin Wan as if to explain: “Can you see more clearly if I do this?”

Lin Wan was adjusting himself and did not answer Zhu Chizhou’s question. Zhu Chizhou waited patiently for him for a while and asked again: “Is it better this way?”

The boy’s voice was low and steady, as if it could penetrate Lin Wan’s defenses. Lin Wan didn’t want others to see his embarrassment at this moment, but his mind was in a mess, all of which was his dependence on and desire for Zhu Chizhou. He took a deep breath, and then carefully leaned his entire back against Zhu Chizhou.

“Yeah,” Lin Wan finally whispered, “Much better.”

“Then let’s just read it this way.” Zhu Chizhou said.

When the boy spoke, vibrations were aroused in his chest, which were transmitted to Lin Wan through the place where they were touching, causing a slight tingling sensation on Lin Wan’s skin.

The tingling sensation spread throughout his body like a vine, twisting Lin Wan’s heart and making his heartbeat almost in sync with Zhu Chizhou.

【The doctor said that if it was difficult for me to have close contact with him, I should find someone who could also arouse my strong desire for contact.】

【But where can I find someone to replace Zhu Chizhou?】

【I don’t want to touch anyone except him.】
